Weiss Guy Ale

American Pale Ale • All Grain • 10 gal

Mike Beste

Racked it after 5 days, then again at 7. It is tasting mighty good at this point. This isn't my first try at this recipe, but a modification of two other trys which turned out wonderful as well. They were 50/50's. I will probably save a couple bottles of this for competition.

While not too hoppy, they are present. If the bitter is not all appealing, cut back on the hops as I do so aggressively. This is v3 of this beer I have found that the mash temps are VERY important so if you try this one, get the temps right! In v2 I failed to do that. The result was noticable but it was still good. The color is very impressive with lots of body as well. OG was 1060; FG looks like it will land at 1020. Happy Brewing.

It has been warm up here in Seattle. It fermented between 72-78 degrees.
